Welcome Fellow Breeders and Friends,

On behalf of our crew at Journagan Ranch of Missouri State University, we would like to invite you to be
with us on October 5, 2024. As we prepare for our 33rd sale and celebrate 44 years in the Hereford busi-
ness, we want to say a “THANK YOU” for the support of our customers and friends.

Our goal has always been to provide the Best Hereford Genetics to the Beef Cattle Industry. We use all
the available tools to provide documentation to enhance our genetics to be more predictable and profit-
able. Our cow herd is very maternal. They have been raised and bred on fescue for generations and are
very adapted to our environment. We focus on the economic relevant traits like foot, structure, udder, teat,
fleshing ability and most importantly Fertility. We feel carcass is a trait that the whole beef business should
be concerned about. We have been gathering carcass data for 24 years. We take that data and balance
it with all the other traits to influence our genetics. Most importantly we listen to our customers’ needs and
concerns and value their input.

We are excited about the Quality of cattle in this year’s offering. We look forward to your appraisal. We are
sharing with you some of our very best.

I would like to recognize Bill Maerli. We had the misfortune of losing Bill this year. He was a friend, mentor
and a true supporter of this program. He worked for us as a ringman for many years. We will miss him.

We would like to Thank You Jack Hedrick. Jack provided ring service for 32 of our sales. We appreciate
his friendship, leadership and his marketing skills. We wish Jack the best with his retirement. We have
great memories of the years gone by. Thanks Jack!

I would like to Thank our Ranch crew; Russell Driskell, Eric Lueck, Eddie Massey and Chantz Reece for
their hard work and dedication. I would like to Thank the Howard brothers, Steve and Justin. Their willing-
ness to be a part of the Sale preparation is very much appreciated. We would like to recognize the support
of Dr. Adam McGee, Beef professor, and the many students that we have had the opportunity to work with.
A Big THANKS to all of you.
